“I hope to have a career like Varane. Me, I want to play the maximum, I take what there is to take and I want to give the best of myself. ”

We suppose Newcastle will be linked with a number of top players through this season, but we will have to be in the Premier League next season if we are to have any success in attracting them to Tyneside next summer.

Much as I admire Rafa and everything he is doing and will do for the club, nobody gets everything right all the time. In the same way that Mourinho, with a host of talented players, failed to get the set up right and lost to Watford, so too Rafa had a similar experience against Wolves. Happily our guy made no mention of refereeing decisions which seems to be the standard post match moan from the less than ‘special one’.

There are clear disparities not least because of how opposition play against us at home. Early days but a pattern is emerging that needs addressing.

Seems we are differing because I see something that is there and believe has been seen by Rafa and will be addressed sooner or later but you think everything is already fine so need to worry. OK we should both be happy at end of season anyway so let’s move on 🙂

health update

My latest checkup was yesteday and after a battery of tests the results show the cancer remains stabilized and has not spread further.

Some background - I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 after being in remission for six years. and I completed four months of intense chemotherapy in late July.

The cancer metastasized through the bones and one treatment available I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer and I will continue to have exhaustive blood tests about every three months and CAT-scans and bone-scans when necessary.

I will do my best under the circumstances and I take this as another challenge - a big one.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
